hi y''all.
i had my truck sagged to the right. then we got into an accident, fortunately, same right side, and i told them that it sagged after accident. when repairs were done, the shop guy mentioned something about adjusting the torsion bar to fix that issue.

now, i have noticed that my left, driver side is sagged some, probabaly as i drive alone and 275lbs are always down on that front left end. so, is it true that i can raise the vehicle by adjusting torsion bar? before i get into it.

Adjust too much & you can damage the shock (only travel limiter). Damage the shock near a brake hose/line & it will be back in body shop.
Go get an alignment & ask to stay in vehicle.
